I like cauliflower and love to find different ways of preparing it. This adds some zip to what can be a bland vegetable. The feta cheese melted and added creaminess to the dish. I used 2 jalapeno peppers which were making my eyes water. I thought the sauce was a little thin and next time would draini the tomatoes. All in all a good dish, thanks for posting.
